Student-Athlete Degree Completion Assistance

In August 2018, Board adopted legislation to require schools to provide degree completion funding to former men’s and women’s basketball players. Schools must provide funding for former men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes beginning in Fall 2019.

The Board established a fund for limited resource schools to fund degree completion. Schools defined as Limited Resource Institutions (LRI) within the past five years are eligible for funding. For schools eligible for the Former Student-Athlete Degree Achievement Fund, the application period opens April 1, 2019.
